Quote:
If Jim Jones was profiled before Senator Leo Ryan and members
of his party were killed, would there have been such an incident?
That is uncertain, Aquagirl.
It depends upon the results of the profiling,
who
BELIEVED them, and how well thay were disseminated.
Quote:Would there have been a mass suicide?
Yes
Quote:What would cause hundreds of people to willingly take poison?
Jones' demagogery and Jones' police, who shot anyone who chose not to drink.

of profiling Jim Jones before such an incident?
None
Quote:Could there have been a cursory profile
based on newspaper accounts of the People's Temple?
Yes
